So it can be ignored as well as the ASPM. I will check the cables, when I can get hands on the machine - just out of curiosity. > I wish I had some good ideas for you, but I don't know anything about > the SATA side.

I have not seen the bios of the machine for many years. I was looking forward to plug it to a console, so that I can reboot remotely, but for some reason it was not possible. It was may be 5y ago. I will definitely double check this, allthough there will be nothing regarding SATA3.3 there as these were build many years before SATA3.3 saw daylight. As mentioned in the other posting I will attach those SSDs directly to the mobo. There are 6 SATA ports there. I think this is the best approach. But you know curiosity is a force you can not resist, so I still want to know why?! :) Thank you anyway BR -- FCD6 3719 0FFB F1BF 38EA 4727 5348 5F1F DCFE BCB0
